    A new halacarid species Agauopsis zanzibari sp. nov. belonging to the ornata group (Agauopsis, Halacaridae, Acari), collected from Zanzibar, Tanzania is described, using light and scanning electron microscopy images. Differences from closely related species are discussed and a key to species of the ornata group sensu stricto is presented.
